Now I am a fan of science but believe we would be wise to have a healthy scepticism especially as what we know or believe has been proven scientifically is changing all the time.. one minute something is so, then they realise the test was flawed....and now Y is true... One that stands out to me is the one where neuroscience tried to prove that men are less empathic than women... they used dead salmon to determine whether male and female brains reacted differently... In another experiment they used dead humans, or all males, or only 4 subjects etc... Healthy scepticism rules I feel...http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuroskeptic/2009/09/16/fmri-gets-slap-in-the-face-with-a-dead-fish/#.WNQMPm_yjiw less

I happen to love it. Just ate stir-fried tofu with teriyaki sauce :)Another example:candy cornNobody "kinda likes" candy corn. You either can't stop snacking on it or you think it's disgusting. Keep in mind this question is meant to be light-hearted. I'm sure there are people with mild opinions of any of these :)

Lawyers/accountants/auto mechanics/anyone investigating "their own kind". If they have nothing to hide they can't object to outside impartial observers. If they do then they will fight tooth and nail and INSIST only they can do a good job. What do you think about that? Why?

And yet ever since last semester, every single time we cross paths he'll see me and either turn his head away really fast or look down. There was even one time he was coming out of a classroom I was passing by and when he saw me he was like a deer in headlights and dipped right back into the room...so what's his deal?
And I'm pretty sure it's not because he "could be attracted to me but he's just shy or whatever", because I overheard him while I was working my desk shift in the student center a few days ago, talking to somebody about a date he'd gone on with this girl, and how awesome she was, and how they have plans for more dates in the future. less
